Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 115: Changes in the plot

Under Bai's persuasion, Uzumaki Naruto lay back on the bed.

This time, Rock Lee did not fight with Gaara, and was not seriously injured by Gaara, so Gaara did not go to the hospital to kill Rock Lee, and thus Uzumaki Naruto would not know Gaara's past.

But is this really the case? Will this meeting about spiritual communication be disrupted by the people led by Uchiha Xing?

......

If you enter the second exam in your current state, you will definitely be targeted. So, call me sister and I will protect you in the second exam.

Well~ If you call me sister, I might reluctantly help you because we are of the same race.

My stupid brother, let me help you during the exam.

Call me sister!

Gaara sat in a dark corner, constantly thinking about the time Karin and Uzumaki Naruto got along.

"Well!"

Gaara held his head, feeling waves of pain in his head.

The memories of himself and Yashamaru's interactions kept coming to his mind.

Why, I have lived with Yashamaru for so long and I trust him so much, but why is it that she is willing to protect him even though she only met him for the first time?

Why! Why! Why!

Gaara clutched his head tightly, and the scene he saw a few days ago emerged in his mind.

That day, Karin and the others finished their training. The setting sun was shining obliquely. Karin hooked her arm around Uzumaki Naruto's shoulder and they were talking and laughing.

That day, Gaara sat on the roof and looked down.

"Naruto, let me tell you..."

Karin was talking to Uzumaki Naruto and was not looking ahead. Just then, two ninjas finished their meal and seemed to have drunk some wine. They walked out of the restaurant and bumped into Uzumaki Naruto.

"Ah? Hug..."

The ninja was about to apologize, but when he looked up, he saw Uzumaki Naruto.

The apologetic look instantly turned into hatred.

"Tsk, how unlucky."

The ninja said, raising his hand and patting the place where he had just touched Naruto.

When Uzumaki Naruto saw the look in the ninja's eyes, he was stunned for a moment and clenched his hands tightly.

"Hey! What are you doing! It was you who bumped into Naruto, you should apologize to Naruto."

Karin frowned and spoke to the ninja in dissatisfaction.

"I apologized to him? What a joke!"

The ninja said with hatred.

"Hey!"

The ninja's companion patted the ninja on the shoulder and gestured for the ninja to look at the forehead protector on Karin's head.

The ninja glanced at the forehead protector on Karin's head.

Tsk! A ninja from the Hidden Rain Village.

“People from other villages are trouble.”

The ninja muttered quietly, then looked at Karin and said, "Hey, from the Hidden Rain Village, I advise you to stay away from this monster. He will bring you misfortune."

The ninja said, looking at Uzumaki Naruto, his eyes full of hatred.

When Uzumaki Naruto heard the ninja's words, his heart tightened and he looked at Karin anxiously, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Afraid that Karin hated herself as much as they did.

Gaara watched this farce and his eyes finally fell on Uzumaki Naruto.

Is he a monster too? Ha! Such a familiar look. That woman must have started to hate and fear him. Just like them, they hate and fear me.

"What are you talking about? Naruto is my brother and you called him a monster! Apologize to him!"

Karin kept asking the ninja to apologize. No one knew whether the ninja was annoyed by Karin or didn't want to be too close to Uzumaki Naruto, but in the end, the ninja apologized to Uzumaki Naruto reluctantly.

"Sister, he said I was a monster, aren't you scared?"

Uzumaki Naruto lowered his eyes and fiddled with the corner of his clothes nervously.

"Why should I be afraid? You are from the same clan as me and a brother that I recognize, why should I be afraid of you? Besides, we are the Uzumaki clan! We specialize in dealing with monsters! Don't forget, we are a sealing clan. You may be a hero who seals a monster, but end up being mistaken for a monster."

Karin comforts Uzumaki Naruto.

Listening to Karin's words, Uzumaki Naruto subconsciously placed his hand on his belly.

So...I sealed it...

Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but think of what Mizuki had said to him at that time.

Fox...

I am not!

Uzumaki Naruto put down his hand, his eyes gradually became firm, and he looked at Karin with a bright smile.

Why? Why! Why didn't she hate him, wasn't she afraid of him!

Gaara raised his hands and held his head tightly.

My head hurts so much!

......

I really want to kill him!!!

This idea became clearer and stronger in Gaara's mind.

kill him!

Thinking this, Gaara disappeared from the corner.

In the hospital, Uzumaki Naruto continued to sleep with his legs spread out.

After Bai and Nara Shikamaru finished playing a game of chess, they went to see Choji Akimichi who was admitted to the hospital due to overeating.

The hospital was quiet.

A few grains of sand floated through the air.

The door of the ward was pushed open, and a man walked into Uzumaki Naruto's ward.

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto sleeping on the hospital bed, Gaara felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

At this time, Gaara didn't know what envy and jealousy were.

go to hell!

Countless sands floated up and flew around Uzumaki Naruto.

Gaara raised his hand and tried to kill Uzumaki Naruto.

However, the next second, Gaara's body suddenly became unable to move, and his sand and legs were frozen.

"Shadow Imitation, success!"

Nara Shikamaru said, controlling Gaara to put his hands down.

"What are you doing here? No one from your village is injured here."

Bai kept smiling and looked at Gaara warily.

"Come and kill him."

Gaara spoke very calmly, as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary.

"Ok?"

Bai couldn't help but frown.

"From what I know, your opponent is not Naruto, but Kimimaro. Why did you kill him?"

Shiro looked at Gaara warily, frost gradually forming on the floor beneath his feet.

Hiss~It’s so cold!

As Nara Shikamaru was thinking, he saw that the floor beneath his feet had turned into ice.

"Kill if you want to."

Gaara said it as if he was explaining how to kill an ant.

What's going on! Why is he so calm! There are three...two of us, and they are all under my shadow imitation spell and can't even move their bodies, but he is not worried at all.

Nara Shikamaru's palms were sweating.

He didn't know the strength of Gaara, nor did he know how strong Bai was. With the strength of both sides unknown, he couldn't be sure whether his side could win.

"Aqiu!"

The sleeping Uzumaki Naruto was suddenly woken up by the cold.

"Huh? What happened?"

Uzumaki Naruto was stunned for a moment as he looked at the ice surrounding him, then he jumped off the bed.

"What are you doing!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at the three people in the room with confusion and puzzlement.

"Wait! Are you guys planning to give me a cold just to help me advance? No way! I won't fight with my sister? I won't fight with any of you either."

Uzumaki Naruto was confused.

"Idiot! That guy wanted to kill you, but we saved you!"

Nara Shikamaru said to Uzumaki Naruto with his forehead in his hand.

"Eh?! Is that so?"

Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head and thought for a moment, then pointed at Gaara and said, "Why do you want to kill me? We don't even know each other! We don't have any personal grudges!"

Gaara's eyes fell on Uzumaki Naruto.

"I just wanted to kill you, so I came to kill you."

Gaara said calmly.

"What are you talking about you bastard!"

Uzumaki Naruto pointed at Gaara and said angrily.

"Your family must not have educated you well. You are so self-centered."

However, this guy is a bit strange, and makes people feel cold.

By the way, should we ask Bai to take the ice away for a while? My legs are a bit frozen.

Nara Shikamaru thought silently in his heart.

"If you dare to stop me, I will kill you too."

As Gaara finished speaking, countless sands flew up, ready to attack Shiro and Nara Shikamaru.

"Oh? Want to give it a try?"

Bai put away the smile on his face, and countless ice cones appeared in the ward with him as the center.

"Aqiu!"

"Ah Qiu!"

Uzumaki Naruto and Nara Shikamaru sneezed at the same time.

We absolutely cannot let the two of them fight in such a small room, otherwise Naruto and I will definitely be in trouble, and it is possible that the patients in other wards will be harmed.

Nara Shikamaru quickly thought of a solution in his mind.

"Hey, the one from the Sand Village, we are very powerful here, and it's three to one now. There is no chance for you to win. If you are smart and leave now, we can pretend that nothing happened today."

Nara Shikamaru tried his best to persuade Gaara to leave here.

"I'll say it again, if you try to stop me, I'll kill you."

Gaara was obviously not impressed.

"Shikamaru, if a fight really breaks out, you take Naruto away from here first. I'll hold him back for now. Don't worry, his target is Naruto, and he will probably chase him out. Even if he doesn't, I will lead him out."

Shiro whispered the plan to Nara Shikamaru.

"I see."

Nara Shikamaru nodded.

Everything went to plan, but there was a small surprise.

"Humph! People like you can't kill me!"

Uzumaki Naruto pointed at Gaara and yelled.

"This, this guy!"

Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Gaara's attention was suddenly diverted by Uzumaki Naruto.

"monster...."

Gaara's sudden words made everyone present stunned.

"I'm a monster just like you."

Gaara's words made Uzumaki Naruto stand there in a daze.

He said he was a monster too? Could it be that he...

Uzumaki Naruto's hand subconsciously placed on his stomach.

"Perhaps what that guy said is right. I have not received a good education. I was born by taking the life of the woman I should call my mother. In order to make me the strongest ninja, my father used ninjutsu to attach the incarnation of sand to my body. I was a monster from birth."

Gaara told his story very calmly.

Uzumaki Naruto clenched his fists tightly.

"The embodiment of sand?"

Bai frowned slightly.

"It is the soul of the old monk Sand Shadow who was sealed in the boiling water pot called Shukaku."

Gaara explained.

Bai thought about it carefully, thinking of the various things in the ninja world that Uchiha Xing had told them.

"It's the one-tailed beast, Shukaku!"

Bai remembered Uchiha Xing's stories about various major events in the ninja world, and the story of the nine tailed beasts was told to them by Uchiha Xing as a bedtime story.

However, they only talked about their strength and the reasons why they were conquered, and as for their birth... Uchiha Xing just smiled and said that they would know it later.

"Wait, this is too crazy!"

Although Nara Shikamaru didn't know what the tailed beasts were, he had heard fragments of them in some books, and they seemed to be very powerful creatures.

"Is that really what a father should do? What a twisted form of love."

Nara Shikamaru complained silently.

"Love? You mean love? Oh, don't measure me with your standards!"

"Family? Let me tell you how it relates to me!"

"It's nothing but a lump of flesh filled with hatred and murderous intent!"

Gaara's words stunned the three people present.

"Meat? Where's the meat? Grilled or stewed?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the room.

At some point, a person was sitting on the windowsill.

"Forehead....."

Bai hesitated for a long time before saying, "Teacher Quanzi, the lack of meat here is just a metaphor."

"So that's how it is. When I first arrived I heard there was some meat and I thought you were going to barbecue it."

Uchiha Xing glanced around and then asked, "Are you guys listening to a story? Keep going, I'll listen too."

Gaara was silent for a while, then continued to tell his story.

Uchiha Xing took out a bag of melon seeds from somewhere, and then listened to Gaara telling how his father sent people to assassinate him when he was six years old, how he was hated and isolated by the whole village, how he went from fear to indifference, how he didn't know the meaning of life, how he only loved himself, and how he enjoyed killing.

“Click, click, click, click.”

Um.....

Everyone's eyes fell on Uchiha Xing, who was shaving ice with an ice shaver in one hand and a bowl in the other.

Really, I've been wanting to say this since a while ago, who would listen to a story while eating melon seeds and shaved ice at the same time?

Nara Shikamaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Uchiha Xing, who was shaving ice, felt that the surroundings had become quiet, so he stopped and turned to look at everyone.

"Well, do you want to eat it? I'll dig it for you."

Uchiha Xing said as he handed over the shaved ice in his hand.

"No, and this ice room ninjutsu is so cold, can you eat it?"

Nara Shikamaru said this while holding his forehead.

"Eh? Can't eat it?"

Uchiha Xing tilted his head in surprise, looked at everyone, then looked at the shaved ice in his hand and threw it away.

"By the way, are you still going to fight? I suggest you not to, after all..."

Uchiha Xing smiled at Gaara, and then said: "If you can't beat me, you will die~"

As Uchiha Xing finished speaking, a strong murderous intent attacked Gaara.

At that moment Gaara felt like he was going to die.

"Ah!"

Gaara snorted lightly and then left.
